Description

The writer had apparently been commissioned to procure a thick cloak, and some flock, but had failed to find either. He goes on to ask Zenon to send money for the conveyance of the vetch crop to the place of embarkation and to get a letter from Hermaphilos the oikonomos licensing the export.
